206 coil pack earth or suppressor snapped

Hi,
My '04 206 returned from the garage with this part snapped and disconnected.
(couldn't add photo, see link)

The garage have said that they didn't do it whilst checking the plugs (or when they changed the plugs last week during a service) and that all it does is stop interference affecting the radio. It went back to garage as the engine light started flashing with rough/lumpy running when putting any strain on the engine. Unfortunately the problem had 'fixed itself' by the time I got to the garage and nothing came up on the diagnostic.

Does this part 6555.K9, static condenser suppressor have anything to do with earthing the coil pack? I've read on one forum that it being snapped could reduce the life of the coil pack. On another forum it suggests that it could protect the ECU from any electrical spikes from the coil pack. Does anyone know if either of these could be the case?

Other forums talk a lot about a suppressor mod, but is this something to do the main connector in the middle of the coil pack?

Thanks for looking, Dave

Hi Dave and welcome.
That's a SOHC engine. It is a suppressor. but I don't think it would cause your problems. Your missfire may well be caused by the new plugs. Are they NGK? Pugs don't like them for some reason. Go for the proper Bosch ones if so.
